Read a text file from on the client

[Guest]

Hi
I am trying to let the users select a txt file on their drive and then
import all the text in it to a textbox ?
I have figured out how to access a file on the server and import it but not
how I could read a file on the clients disk ?

And another question I am curious about how hard is it to export/import
mails to outlook if it possible ?

Thanx in advance guys..
Johan

Hi Johan,

You can use the HtmlInputFile object to load the text file from the client
then read the content on the server and display it back to the browser, as in
this example:
